Patio Covers

If you’re seeking full shade and rain protection, our solid roof patio covers have you covered. A solid roof is a continuous surface (no gaps) that completely blocks the sun and shields your patio from rain – essentially creating a dry, shaded outdoor room. This option is great for year-round use of your patio; you can place furniture, electronics, or an outdoor kitchen under a solid cover and know they’ll be protected from the elements.

Despite providing full coverage, these patio covers still boast the attractive wood-like aesthetic of our Duralum material, so you don’t sacrifice style for functionality. We incorporate an integrated gutter system along the roof edge to channel rainwater away (just like a house’s gutters), keeping your sitting area leak-free even during storms. Solid roof covers can be built in a traditional straight-line style or enhanced with decorative rafter tails (Scallop, Corbel, Miter, Bevel) for a classic craftsman look – the choice is yours.

For the ultimate in comfort, our insulated patio covers take the solid roof concept a step further. These covers feature insulated roof panels (with a high-density foam core) that significantly reduce heat transfer, helping to keep the area underneath cooler in hot weather and warmer on chilly days.

An insulated roof cover is the best choice if you intend to spend a lot of time on your patio during Sacramento’s hot summers – it creates a noticeable temperature difference by blocking the sun’s heat. It also dampens noise from rain, so you can enjoy a quieter, more serene space during a downpour. Visually, insulated covers look just like our solid covers (same colors, textures, and styling options), so you still get the beautiful wood-look finish you desire. Many homeowners consider the insulated roof covers the top-tier option for an outdoor living space that’s comfortable in all seasons.

Another advantage: if you ever choose to enclose your patio cover into a sunroom or add screens/windows, the insulated roof is ready for it – it’s built with the structural strength and design to support future walls or glass, meaning half the work is already done when converting to a room addition down the line.

Can’t decide between a lattice and a solid/insulated cover? We can do a combination patio cover that blends both styles in one structure. For example, you might have a partial lattice section over one area (for light gardening or a bright seating nook) and a solid or insulated section over another area (for full shade over an outdoor dining set). This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds – open-air ambiance where you want it, and complete coverage where you need it.
